coefficient
Number before variable
A coefficient is a number placed before and multiplying a variable or quantity.
In the expression 3x, the coefficient is 3.
The term extends to any numerical factor in a formula that measures a specific property or relationship: coefficient of friction, correlation coefficient.
In general use, coefficient occasionally appears as a fancy word for factor or element: Hard work is a coefficient of success.
